I wonder what is going on here, there doesn't seem to be any code path
where the chan_timer is not cleared since the code path should be:

l2cap_conn_del -> l2cap_chan_del -> __clear_chan_timer -> cancel_delayed_work
chan->conn = NULL

Perhaps the problem is that cancel_delayed_work does not actually
prevent l2cap_chan_timeout to run if that is already pending, so maybe
something like this would work:
